    How did I just find out the Bay Area has BBQ that's as good as the one I had in Texas…read more Come with me to Smoking Pig BBQ, and they've been quietly smoking meats low and slow since 2011. Every brisket, rib, and pulled pork shoulder is smoked for hours over real oak and apple wood. And you can taste it in the tenderness of the meat. The brisket is rich, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The pulled pork is packed with flavor and practically falls apart with every bite. The ribs are juicy, perfectly seasoned, and pass the pull test every single time. This is my first time having burnt ends and they were bursting with savory flavor but doesn't taste burnt at all. This place isn't just about the food either because the whole family can enjoy watching the World Cup right here. And right now, when you order any main dish, you can get ONE FREE item of your choice link in my bio: Wolf Turds, Wolf Turd Quesadilla, Mac & Cheese Balls, BBQ Beans, or Banana Pudding. The voucher link is in my bio or comment BBQ to get it sent in your DM. Trust me... It's time to put Smoking Pig BBQ back on the map.

    I'll start by saying I'm not the biggest BBQ person out there. I like it okay, but it's not my go…read moreto, but there was an "influencer" deal happening for a free appetizer or dessert so.... why not give it a go. First off, the restaurant is huge. I mean, plenty of parking in the parking lot and plenty of seating inside and this place was not busy when we arrived. Despite it not being packed, service took a while to notice us at the door, to acknowledge us at our table, and to take our order. I can't blame them - the two people that I saw working definitely looked a bit frazzled, but still tried to keep an upbeat attitude. My husband and I opted for the wolf turds (stuffed jalapenos), 1 meat combo (brisket), the banana pudding, and to be honest I forgot what my husband got but the meat on his plate was more tender than the brisket I received. I appreciated their selection of sauces on the table because the meat on both plates were pretty bland. The mac and cheese was cold, but not the worse I've ever had, and the corn bread was dry. The banana pudding was thick, but delightful. Overall, it's a huge pass on the bbq for me, but I've heard good things about their key lime pie.

    The seafood/meat dumplings are my favorite items here. I would not get the bbq pork again, it was…read morecolorless and stale. The shrimp-stuffed tofu and the one with eggplant was okay, just deep fried shrimp paste. It was nice eating once, but won't get them again. The duck was okay, kinda meatless. I'd only get the lotus wrap again if i was mad craving it, it was not fresh. Stay away from the deep fried taro dumplings and tofu wrapped meat dumplings, it was stale and lifeless. The tofu wrapped bamboo shoot rolls were overstuffed with meat, the tofu skin was very dry. The deep fried taro is probably the worst item on their menu. The taro was hard, it was like eating cardboard; and the shell or crust was brittle, not crunchy. Their chow mein was all carbs with a pinch of veggies and no noticeable meat, also not fresh and drowned in soy sauce. The service was good, they take apple pay. They were very willing to take my order, even gave me a few freebies for purchasing so much. The ambiance is like visiting a prison of food held behind plastic windows and floors of metal sheet rooms.

I've gotten their roasted ducks, egg rolls, fried fish for parties. I love their salted fish fried rice, that's my favorite. Not many restaurants offer this and they have this for party tray, I am sold. It's always a hit at parties too!

    I've had this on my list for the longest time but after the reviews dropped, my interest dropped…read more We were hungry after going to the movies and the boyfriend suggested skewers. He had no idea that I had this saved so we ended up giving it a try. Dude. So good. The house special fried rice is crack albeit a little pricey ($13.99 compared to regular white rice at $2.49/bowl) but they pack it with a lot of different ingredients. It's perfect with some veggies like the chive skewers. We also loved the classic beef and lamb (minimum order of two) and lamb belly (comes in two skewers). The cut on the lamb belly is smaller than the classic lamb. The Taiwanese sausage, bbq pork with garlic, and tofu wraps (comes in ten skewers) were also delicious. Only skippable thing was the a-choy. The flavors weren't too spicy and they have a lot of drink options. Service was relatively quick but sometimes confusing in the order that it comes out. We ordered everything at the same time but the chives came out first and the a-choy came out last? Plenty of parking in the plaza; friendly (enough) service. It's a plus if you know Mandarin lol. Total was about $60 after tax and tip. We'll definitely be back!

    Another new BBQ skewer spot has opened in the Bay Area…read more There are so many options, from meat, seafood, and vegetables to rice, noodle, and soup dishes - you name it! I was excited to try a variety of dishes with my friends, and as expected, we ordered a ton and finished every single bite. Some of my top favorites were the teriyaki chicken skewer, beef pineapple skewer, grilled chicken skin, grilled bun slices, sizzling tomato egg rice, and grilled enoki mushrooms. The seasoning on the skewers was spot on and thoughtfully varied depending on the dish. Everything was cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I personally love skewers, and they're the perfect meal to enjoy with friends - chatting, laughing, and sharing delicious skewers and drinks together!

Great for slower eaters! Here's what I recommend: Beef Skewers Lamb Skewers Giant Grilled Oyster Scallop with Vermicelli Pork Belly with Enoki Grilled Mushrooms Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings Tomato Beef Hot Pot with rice Most skewers are $2-$3 each, or get 6 meat skewers for around $15 with their buy 5, get 1 free deal. Such a good value! The crispy salt & pepper chicken wings were one of my biggest surprises. You get 8 wings for $15, and they were perfectly crispy and seasoned. If you're dining with friends, this is the perfect place to order a little bit of everything and keep the feast going till late at night.

    Refreshing Cold Noodles and a Great Variety of Skewers…read more This was a standout meal that balanced comfort and something a little different. I came in mostly curious about the skewers, but the cold noodles ended up being the surprise highlight. Cold Noodles If you're on the fence about cold noodle soup -- get this. The broth is lightly tangy and deeply refreshing without being overly sweet or vinegary. The noodles had the perfect bite, and the sliced cucumber added crunch and brightness. Topped with two soft-boiled eggs and fresh cilantro, it was simple but extremely satisfying. On a hot day, this hits the spot in a way hot ramen just can't. And even though it's light and chilled, it's still filling. Grilled Skewers There were a lot of unique options and cuts -- lamb, chicken, beef, and more. Each skewer was well seasoned and cooked properly, with a good char but never dry. The flavors leaned slightly smoky with a hint of spice, and the meat was tender. It's a great way to try a few different proteins without committing to a big entrée. Overall Experience There was a bit of a language barrier when ordering, but the staff was friendly and made sure everything came out as expected. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was casual but comfortable. If you're looking for something outside the usual ramen or hot pot spots, this is absolutely worth visiting. Great variety, excellent flavors, and that cold noodle bowl alone makes it worth the trip. Highly recommended

    I really wanted to like this place based on previous reviews. However, when you enter the…read morerestaurant and see ABSOLUTELY no other patrons, you get suspicious. We ordered a whole duck to-go. We got home and it was COLD. Like it was sitting in the refrigerator for days and they just repacked it for sale. After warning it up, it was evident that this duck wasn't made fresh. Parts of it were so tough and dry it was equivalent to jerky. If you like your duck DAYS OLD, I repeat.... DAYS OLD and DRY, get it from here. For me, I will never return again.
